Dear Cottage Life

I was surprised to see my quote in “We’re New Here” (Spring ‘17). My friend saw it first and phoned to tell me about it. We both get the magazine, and we’re always letting each other know when it arrives in the mail. She was as excited as I was to see it. Thanks!

FIRE DRILL

One of our neighbours recently had a chimney fire in the middle of winter. Fortunately, the fire caused minimal damage, but it did spark (no pun intended) a series of conversations both at home and down our lane. There are only five homes on this one-kilometre lane, and four are inhabited year round. Us year-rounders need that lane for everything from propane to fuel oil to furniture delivery.
